Why Do Men Think All Women Like Their 12 Inchers????? Posted: 11/26/2009 6:50:29 PM
A buddy of mine had a teammate in soccer a few years back that actually was 12 inches. The guy with the 12 inch hated it, and his girlfriend hated it even more because it was really tough for him to get an erection haha.

Men don't like TALL women Posted: 11/24/2009 6:52:49 PM
I have the problem and it so ****es me off! I'm not a six footer, I'm five eight and a half, possibly five ten in my biggest heels, so obviously I go for the tall men. The amount of over six foot men I see with five foot nothing women drives me crazy. It's just not fair, shorter women can date men of any height, so why do they need to go for the tall girls dating pool? I understand maybe men want to be taller than the women, but as I only go for six foot plus men, they would be taller then me anyway. I find it interesting that this is the same song the majority of the short guys are singing in these forums.. go figure. Although I think men are possibly more willing to date a taller girl, whereas girls are less willing to date a shorter man.

I Don't Need A Man.., I very Independent..etc = RED Flags? Posted: 11/17/2009 3:20:56 PM
I think what funtunes is trying to say that is we men are more likely to choose who we show our cards to, but at the end it's usually the women who decides whether there is relationship/dating potential or not.

what else are you doing to meet people beside online? Posted: 11/2/2009 4:59:05 PM
When I was single I would go to singles events.. they'd offer stuff like archery classes, sushi making classes, whatever.. I also tried speed dating, joined coed sports teams where I didn't know anyone, or just join a team where I knew over half the people.

Why do women keep insisting that it's harder for them to get a date? Posted: 10/28/2009 7:59:22 PM
I don't think women will ever have it harder for them to get a date unless they are absolutely hideous and have absolutely no social skills. For those I think that say it's harder, is probably because they are not pro-active enough about it, as in they don't put in another effort to help themselves get a date. They could still be cute/gorgeous, whatever.. However, if the girls don't get themselves out there, they are not going to get noticed and they are not going to get dates. So that's probably why. They fear rejection, or they're traditional, or they're chicken.. whatever it is.. more often than not, they're not getting dates because they don't take the initiative to give a good vibe, throw hints, or flat out ask a guy out. So they hang around hoping the guy would ask them out, and the guy either is not interested or doesn't have the balls to do it.

Are North Americans less direct? Posted: 10/11/2009 5:44:47 PM
I thought I'd update on this thread because I'd like to see if I can get more discussion on this topic. The friend has now started talking to headhunters in London as she prepares for her move in 2010, and after talking to her recently she's absolutely convinced that she's single because indeed Europeans are much more direct than Canadian guys. I went to London with my family in June and I visited one of our friends that live there. Somehow we got to talking about our friends, relationships and dealbreakers, so our London friend brought up the "Direct-friend" in regards to the topic. Apparently our "Direct-Friend" has a laundry list of dealbreakers that MUST be met in order for her to date. The more I heard about this list, the more I thought that it's not because Canadian guys are less direct, but because her laundry list is kind of strange (to me anyway). Some of her dealbreakers include common ones like, - Man has to be taller than her in heels, he needs to be educated and ambitious, etc Then our London friend brought up other dealbreakers like.. - Man's parents cannot be divorced, man must have never been married, man must have never had kids with another woman. I had to stop our London friend before she could list the rest when I heard "Man's parents cannot be divorced." I don't really know why things like parents being divorced would be a dealbreaker. Her parents are still together so I thought perhaps it's important for the guy's parents to be together as well? I have no idea. But I don't see how that could be a dealbreaker. Any thoughts or experiences?

do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 10/3/2009 9:04:59 AM
I won't date a woman with kids.. I'm on the fence now whether I want kids or not, but if I was to be taking care of kids, it'd be one that was made by me, not by an ex boyfriend or husband.

Pickup Line Comebacks You've Used. Posted: 9/7/2009 3:17:14 PM
A line my buddy used back in our late teens. We'd be at a club or a place that's playing loud music. He'll see a girl he wants.. so he goes up to her. Him: "Would you like to dance?" Her: "No thank you!" Him: Does a gesture by his ear and act confused, "What?" Her: "I said No!" Him: What do you mean No? I said, "You look fat in those pants!" Girl walks away.. I wish I would've seen a girl throw at drink at him or something. That was the bet, but we always lost.

online dating success stories Posted: 8/23/2009 10:01:34 AM
Out of the female friends that has participated in online dating, only 1 have found someone. The rest deleted their accounts because they said POF were mainly with guys looking for booty calls. I haven't had a successful match yet and I've been here since 2006. Although the effort I put into online dating is next to zero.

So whats the real truth?? Posted: 8/19/2009 12:07:37 PM
Nobody deserves anything in life. If you want it, you have to earn it, or you have to go get it. I don't see how you shower daily and having a great personality have very much to do with it since everyone knows physical attraction is important. Unfortunately, media makes out that thicker girls are less attractive than skinny girls, so you might be waiting for a while since "good looking guys" means they probably have more options. But best of luck, I'm sure there's a "good looking guy" that likes you for what you are.

Do we internet date because we all have an ISSUE? Posted: 8/12/2009 7:33:55 PM
Yeah I have an issue - I play soccer and ultimate frisbee 4 days a week to stay in good cardiovascular shape - I weight train twice a week - I work a 9 to 5 - I'm finishing a designation in my field through correspondence - I meet up with friends and family at least 1-3 times a week for a quick drink, dinner, whatever - I need my alone time, I run errands, do things I want to do (Salsa and Tango, other dance lessons), etc. That's my weekly schedule. Out of those points, the only possibility for me to find a girlfriend is the last two point. I don't date girls I work with, I'm focused on myself during weight training sessions so I don't talk to anybody. So when I'm out with my friends or doing dance lessons are pretty much the only time I truly get to meet new people, whether it's at a pub, at a house party, whatever. So do I have an issue and therefore I internet date? You bet I do. I don't have the time to go and meet girls on a daily basis. I came here 3 years ago to increase my chances, but now I'm mostly here for the forums since to me Internet dating doesn't work. I've found other organized dating alternatives like speed dating and singles events so much better and have gotten much better results. The forums are great though.

Speed dating vs. online dating Posted: 8/9/2009 4:58:30 PM
I've tried both, and I've had pretty much the same luck in one session of speed dating than I've had from online dating since I joined in 2006. The last girl I was with I met through that speed dating session. Since finding speed dating I've given next to no effort to online dating. I got 7 minutes to speak to each of the 15 girls, and in that 7 minutes it gave me enough information about each one of them as a person to know if I'd take that girl out on a date. I've had corresponding emails in the past that just went nowhere, and felt like I totally wasted my time putting in the effort. On top of that, it's more fun talking to someone face to face rather than typing over a keyboard. I'm thinking about registering for one this Thursday actually. I had such a great time and luck from the last one I'd want to do it again. As per range, the one I went to was based on age range. They're within about 8-9 years. So this Thursday, if I register, I'll be going to one where the guys and the girls are between 24 to 33.

ESPN says no to tweets Posted: 8/6/2009 11:47:50 PM
I don't see the issue with tweeting about their personal lives while working (IE. ESPN), there are many other ways people kill time anyway, whether it be cyber slacking, shooting the sh1ts with coworkers, etc. I don't see what the problem is. Company policy is company policy, but policies are meant to be changed as well. In regards to tweeting. Celebrity twitter annoy me. When twitter went mainstream it was interesting to see what people were doing. I followed Ashton Kutcher and P.Diddy because rather than just tweeting about what they're doing, they gave more materials. Like Ashton would broadcast live from his home on a webcam, or P.Diddy at the awards show with his personal assistants running the webcams backstage or at the parties he's at. It was interesting to see stuff like that rather than just reading basic text. Twitter may not be THE innovation, but it's definitely a good basis to work on for the future of digital media. Most of the "people" I follow on twitter are sites that generate news of interest, so I no longer have to read online newspaper or even get the newspaper anymore, I open my twitter client in the morning, and start reading next to real-time news whenever it comes about. It's a solid groundwork for the future of digital media.

Exclusive dating??? Posted: 7/26/2009 6:09:26 PM
I'll never asked any of the women after the first or 2nd date to be exclusive. I've never been able to make a decision after 2 dates.

Nice guys and gal pals Posted: 7/15/2009 6:15:16 PM
I don't think there's a "window of opportunity". When the girl is interested, they're interested for a long time, so I don't know what this window of opportunity is all about. I also think there are enough jerks and a$$holes in this world that women would jump at a chance to be with a decent guy, hence my reason on why the window of opportunity deal is false. Gal pals are gal pals for a reason, if there's residual interests then you or her needs to do something about it because there's a disconnect. Either go find someone else or set the record straight, or else you'll eventually get "unloaded" on when you don't want to be "unloaded" on. Take control of your dating life, that's what I would do if I was in that situation. If she's a gal-pal, keep her there and leave it at that.

gals....what does take things slow really mean? Posted: 7/12/2009 6:42:40 PM
From personal experience. When she said take things slow, it means you guys are not exclusive. So don't wait around, and go date other people. Remember to NEVER put all your eggs in one basket, don't invest everything into this girl in these kinds of situation because you guys are not exclusive. Don't make her a priority when she's considers you an option. Stay in touch with her, but keep doing your own thing and see other people.

Speed Dating - Does anyone have experience with this? Posted: 7/10/2009 9:11:06 PM
I did it back in February and had a blast. Ended up getting 3 matches and was dating one of the girls I met there until recently. I had next to no issues having conversations with the ladies and found the 7 minutes we had was not enough time as we had to end it after the bell was rung. I wouldn't think of any interview questions or anything that has anything to do with dates. Pretty much just asking what they were passionate about took up the 7 minutes of conversation required already, so it blew by really fast for me. I'm going to do it again in August.. I don't have any other experiences from male friends, but my female friends that have gone on Speed Dating were a hit and miss.. It's just like meeting new people in real life at a party pretty much. I had a good time :).

Can a guy become confident with women without having been successful? Posted: 7/6/2009 4:57:34 PM
It's definitely possible. I was never confident with women back in my teens.. I had my heart severely crushed before I turned 20.. Stopped dating for a couple of years because I couldn't bare go through that again. After a couple of years I started getting back into it.. I just kind of hit a point where I cared less about what the girl would think of me and thought more about myself, and pretty much said whatever was on my mind almost t the point where I didn't care if I was going to offend the girl or not, honesty was all they got from me. So I went from one extreme to the next, and as time went by and as I interacted with more people (not just women in general) and matured mentally, I've found a happy medium. That's how my confidence got to where it is today. It was basically just from interacting with others, and making sure I put myself first.

My list, is it too much to ask? Posted: 7/4/2009 7:35:12 PM
Wow, and those are dealbreakers? Either way, your list is your list.. but here's a question for you. If you do find someone that fits those criteria, what do you have to offer? I think you have a better chance hiring a scientist to create you a robot who provides everything on that list 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

No need to be sorry, that's pretty much how I saw it as well. I just would've liked it if she was more upfront about it, rather than throwing me signs that she was starting to get even more interest, only to find her have a profile on POF and then getting serious with her step-dad's coworker after she talked to for a week and a half. All of that contradicted with everything that she apparently sincerely said to me, I can understand that if it happens then it happens, but everything being contradictory? I find that hard to believe that something just happens and all the planets align and people throw away all their believes to be with a person. I can't say I've ever done it, but then again, everyone's different. At the end of it all, I learned from this, and I'll know what to do next time in similar situations.

Met a girl back in late February, we hit it off. Things were great, we talked on a daily basis. Couple of weeks later as we got a little closer she tells me she doesn't know if she's ready for a relationship because that's all she's ever been since she was 15. She says she likes to take things slow and she really doesn't know what she wants and she says she didn't expect to meet someone like me in such a short time after her last relationship. I was fine with that, I wasn't strictly looking for a relationship anyway. As more time go by, we get closer, start talking more about us, and she tells me her walls are coming down and she's starting to trust me even more (she had bad experiences with previous boyfriends), talked about being more intimate and says she's starting to get deeper feelings for me. So that was good to hear since we were already having fun and enjoyed each other's company. This is after 2 months of us hanging out, doing stuff. Pretty much doing everything except having sex. So before I go away on vacation I find out she started an account on POF. (I'm on here already, but I changed my status because we were dating, so I was strictly here for forums). I confront her about it and said I'm disappointed she's looking at other options. She denies she's looking at other options which I never believed. After seeing that I wanted to completely write her off, but instead I just lowered my expectations, and assumed nothing was going to happen. I come back after a 10 day vacation, and we talked off and on during that. 2 weeks later I find out she's been seeing her step-dad's co-worker for a week, and now they're exclusive, she wanted to tell me since we were both very upfront that if we end up getting serious with another person, we would be upfront about it. I had no problems with that. I had a problem with the conversations we had, my respect for her to like to take things slow and that she doesn't sleep around. But to tell me she doesn't know what she wants, says her walls are coming down and that she trusts me, talks about being more intimate and having greater feelings for me, only to have it thrown at my face after seeing a guy, being intimate and getting serious with a guy after JUST OVER A WEEK while I was away, makes me feel like I just got **** slapped in the face after 3 months of dating. Her reasoning - everything just felt right, but she really wanted to us to work out. Everything she said to me was truly sincere. Right, I'm sure that's exactly how she felt. It's kind of hard to believe what she says is sincere after nothing adds up after this ordeal. It goes without saying there's a sucker born every minute, and I felt like one of those suckers that actually believed everything she said. It's hard not to become a cynic when stuff like this happens to sincere people that are just out there trying to find a good match. But I sure have learned a lot of lessons from the 3 months of BS. The list of things to look out for in a woman increases yet again. Live and learn, live and learn.

Reality versus the book ... Posted: 5/15/2009 9:31:57 AM
I agree with CassaGo Trailgirl, I don't think I completely answered your question. That was the end of it because I was never going to call her, the whole thing with that was I wanted her to call. But after about a week I realized she wasn't going to call and there wasn't enough interest left in me (because I was disappointed that she didn't call) I just left it at that and moved on. So my experiment failed miserably because I didn't get to see her again, but it also passed because chances are she wanted me to call her to setup another date, which was what I was experimenting on in the first place. I didn't want to experiment anymore on great dates so I sucked it up and played by the unwritten rules, so by no means was this experiment official/gospel for anymore lame self-help dating/relationship books hahaha.

Reality versus the book ... Posted: 5/15/2009 9:12:43 AM
trailgirl- I didn't call her because I didn't want to play the 72 hour game, I wanted to see if I could get a girl to call me when both her and I clearly showed interest. I just didn't want to play by the unwritten rules of dating for once where the guy has to call within so many days so the girl can say "ok he's interested, on to step 2 of the how to play the dating game book for girls!" and then I can go, "ok she called back and showed interest, onto step 2 of the how to play the dating game book for guys!" Certainly, I could confidently assume that she wasn't play games, and I didn't want to play games. But like you said, even after women's lib, not every woman is comfortable taking the rule of aggressor, and that is the key concept isn't it? The rules of the game are pretty much based from years and years of dating scenarios for guys and the girls where majority of people will perhaps see it as gospel in order to defend/justify themselves from the mishaps of previous experiences? I don't know, I've never dated for 100+ years so I can't answer that question. We both actually said we wanted to see each other again after the date was over. I believe you are right in that sense, where I didn't call her again so she assumed I was being nice. Meanwhile she's checking her phone every 5 minutes like Gigi (referencing the HJNTIY Movie), and I'm waiting to see if she would call because I didn't want to play the game, AS MUCH as I DID want to call her. The ideal scenario for her would've been, she called me instead and said lets get together again, rather than me call her (like every guy is apparently suppose to do according to the unwritten dating rules). It's too bad, because she was a fun girl. But lucky me I found someone better (the girl I'm dating now). FYI, I played by those unwritten rules with my current lady, but instead of waiting about 72 hours, I called her the next day.

Reality versus the book ... Posted: 5/14/2009 11:54:18 PM
I hated the book with a passion, I ended up getting an ebook copy of the book and after reading about half of it I wanted to print the ebook out just so I could get the privilege to burn it. No surprise that there are males and females who do go with these rules and believe in the cause and outcome of the author's materials, but I didn't work that way, and that's why I hated it so much. I personally felt like it took women back like 50+ years, and that it's never them, it's us. Whenever it doesn't work out, "oh he's just not that into you." I mean really? are people so stupid nowadays that they don't think for themselves and this author just so happens to have the answer to why the dating lives of these women are so miserable? I can't believe this book gets shelved in the self-help section, because obviously anybody who takes this book as gospel really needs help, and it's not help for their dating life. Now onto the actual question of the post. When I was really into a girl, I told her I wanted to see her again. It doesn't get more obvious than that. If I wasn't interested, I just told them it wasn't going to go anywhere, and thanks for the date. Yes, guys do get so nervous they never ask the special girl out, I used to be that guy in my late teens, then I grew up and controlled my own destiny. No question about it, people self sabotage themselves in dating lives all the time. Guys do it but women d0 it to themselves all the time because the majority of them are so old fashioned instead of actually being truly confident (not the self proclaimed ones that just say it to make themselves sound good), they sit and wait for the guy to come to them. I did an experiment with a date I had. We met during an archery lesson. We went out on a date and we had a great date. She told me she wanted to see me again before we were even coming to the end of the date. So I told her I wanted to see her again too (because I did), but instead of being my usual self, I refused to call her within the BS 72 hour rule, just to see what would happens. Well low and behold she never called, and that was the end of that. I hate the book, and anything to do with the book. It gives an excuse to justify any BS in dating behaviors. In 29 years on this planet, I'm confident enough to say dating is hard because those that are unsuccessful at it make it hard.

flirting by text message Posted: 5/8/2009 6:23:14 PM
I love texting. When I first met my girl we talked on the phone maybe 3 to 4 times to plan dates and such. Ever since then I don't remember the last time we talked over the phone. Flirting text is fun, I do enjoy to flirt with her over text, and she's just as good at it as I am. But I believe it should be done after when 2 people feel comfortable with each other, and once the comfort is there, I don't see what the issue with texting is. It's a major source of communication nowadays. The thing about texting is that you don't have to pay complete attention whereas over the phone you're usually paying 100% attention to the other person. I can be watching TV, surf the net, brush my teeth, whatever and send a text back seconds later. It's just so much easier and it gives me the freedom to do what I'm doing without having to concentrate all my attention on her. I agree with another poster where the older crowd probably doesn't enjoy texting because they didn't grow up with it. Communication means have changed and this is the new way to communicate with friends, and in 10-20 years, there'll probably be other means of communication where us older people would think is impersonal or informal.

reschedule a 1st date ? Posted: 5/3/2009 6:23:02 PM
I think if the reason is legit, I don't see why there'd be an issue. People all have busy lives, and there are somethings where no matter how great the date could potentially be, he/she can't make the date and have to reschedule. I'd say see what happens and not jump to conclusions. It could be a legit reason.

Speed Dating Posted: 5/3/2009 6:07:14 PM
I did Speed Dating in February. If you look in my previous posts you can get the details. But to sum it up, It was a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again. Its too bad I didn't find out about it sooner because I wasted so much time doing online dating.

what type of men/women do you mostly attract? Posted: 5/3/2009 9:03:58 AM
My past experience, I've attracted a wide range, but the majority of the women were either very young (just turned legal) or 5 to 10 years older than I was. I meet a lot of these women when I'm salsa dancing, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I rarely attract girls that are in the mid or late 20s, although the girl I'm with now is in that range. Go figure.

Dance / Weight / Fitness quandry Posted: 4/18/2009 8:03:45 PM
I still think it's a pretty good exercise.. I play provincial level soccer (I'm not that competitive anymore, but still play at a somewhat high level) and it's definitely not as good that regular routine, but it surprised me after an hour of Salsa dancing that I could be sweating pretty good. Cardio is cardio no matter how it's done, and for those that probably aren't as athletic, it's a good workout.

Dance / Weight / Fitness quandry Posted: 4/17/2009 1:38:11 PM
I would think that if you can get a weight challenged girl on the floor long enough she'll eventually lose the weight. I do quite a bit of dancing myself (Mostly Tango and Salsa now), and it's quite incredible how good of an exercise it is. So maybe it can be done without actually saying "you know lose some weight because I can't throw do some of the moves." ?? I don't know if I heard right, but I think David Alan Grier said he lost 25 pounds so far while participating in Dancing with the stars? I don't watch the show religiously but the episode I did catch I think that's what he said? 25 pounds is quite a bit of weight, considering I know he's not that fat of a guy originally!

Riders of noisy modified motorcycles, hope you are listening Posted: 4/16/2009 8:04:23 AM
It's good to see they're doing something about it whereas in the past it was strictly profiling modified cars which I thought was ridiculous. Hanging out at a buddy's place downtown I hear at least one or two loud pipe motorcycles each hour, loud enough where a bunch of us couldn't hear each other during that time over a game of NHL 09. But I highly doubt it's going to be enforced on a consistent basis.

You can usually find what the codes are from google. My last car I had an issue with the codes and I found the code on google.

Guy asked me to call him after a date? Posted: 3/25/2009 4:59:11 PM
oh dear, we're assuming a guy's position based on a book and a movie.

You ever feel guilty because you MUST be attracted to a person? Posted: 3/22/2009 4:08:46 PM
I've never felt guilty because we like what we like. To me attraction is not logical. We're all shallow to a certain extent, so I don't see why we should feel guilty because of it. However, I don't know if anyone else has experienced this before, but some of my past crushes were based on me CONVINCING myself that they were attractive. I've had my fair share of experience with this issue, where I would meet a girl from where ever and initially I wouldn't find them physically attractive AT ALL (but NOT physically repulsive). But once I got to talking to them and got to know them better, my attraction towards them would build up. Then something inside me would click, and I would end up asking the girl out on a date, the same girl who I had NO initial physical attraction with at all! By that point, I do get physically attracted to them.

Guy asked me to call him after a date? Posted: 3/18/2009 12:32:07 PM
I never understood why the guy HAS to be the one to call after the 1st date to make a 2nd date. But I had one scenario where I asked this girl out on a date. We went out and our date lasted for 4 hours. We had great laughs, great conversation, I told her straight out I wanted to see her again, and she said she'd love to see me again. This time, I didn't want to call because I didn't want to play the stupid dating game where the guy has to do this, the girl has to do this after the first date, whatever. Yeah well, she never ended up calling. So the next girl I had a good date with, I ended up calling because 99% of the time, us guys can't get away from these ridiculous rules even when we want to. Yeah, if you can't tell already, I hate dating rules. The girl I'm seeing now, I had many female friends say (don't call her the day after, but call within 72 hours), I didn't listen because I hate the rules, so I called the next day. 3 weeks later, we're still having a great time together and she's cooking me dinner at her place tonight. F&%K the rules. That's all I have to say. If you want it, go get it. Common sense is all that you require. At least be true to yourself even if it didn't work out.

What have you learned from online dating ? Posted: 3/13/2009 5:39:54 PM
I've learned that there are new and better ways of meeting dates than looking at pictures and reading resumes.

Are North Americans less direct? Posted: 3/13/2009 5:07:00 PM
I often wonder if I'm in the wrong city, province, country, because it seems that men from other places appreciate their women more and are not afraid to say so! True enough, but I wonder what's the reasoning behind it? And are we talking about women/men that are vacationing, living here long term, or grew up in another city so he/she is the flavor of the month? I'm going to use women as an example since my example is from my friends. I've heard too many times from a couple friends that the women from (insert city here) are absolutely gorgeous. But I personally don't think it's really the case, I think it's the fact that they're from "elsewhere" makes it more endearing because I've never been able to say that going to another country for vacation or living short term has shown me that Canadian girls are the least attractive out of all the countries I've been, I went to Italy and was thoroughly disappointed (No offense to Italian girls of course). I know there are guys out there (I personally know a few) that find foreign women who are new in town attractive, to a point "More" attractive than someone who have lived here for a longer time. It's like it gives these guys a boost of confidence and asks her out just because the girl is "new" in town. Could that be a possible idea? where its just the fact that they're in a sense the flavor of the month?

Men don't like TALL women Posted: 3/13/2009 3:07:13 PM
I love all women, whether she's 4'0 or 7'0. I once went on a date with a girl that was over 6'0 tall. Didn't bother me at all and she was a blast, too bad it never worked out because I chose not to play the game.

Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/13/2009 3:04:36 PM
I'd like to think I'm a good man and the girl I'm seeing says I'm a good man. But I can't say I've ever let a girl that I was interested in cry on my shoulder because she was dating some douchebag. Guys/girls not security blankets and guys/girls are not break glass for emergency tools. As bad as it may sound, I actually don't care and won't give the girl a time of day if I was interested in her and she wanted to cry on my shoulder for going after a douchebag, serves her right for falling for the old lust at first sight trick.

Are North Americans less direct? Posted: 3/10/2009 10:43:04 PM
So I was talking to a friend of a friend the other day and we got to talking about education. She says she intends to move to London next year because she wants to be in the UK. So I ask her why and she says mainly because guys in Europe are more direct, while the guys in North America seem to be wishy washy. I didn't agree with her, but because I wasn't great friends with her I didn't want to ask whether the problem was not because of the guys, but its because of her. Perhaps the vibe or the body language she gives out doesn't tell the guys that she's showing interest, or maybe even the fact that the guys don't think she's worth asking out (whatever that reason maybe). I also wanted to ask her, if Europeans are more direct, then wouldn't that mean that there will be a greater chance that she'll get guys she's not interested in be direct with her, so then how would she handle it? Then I just wonder if it's not about guys being direct, but her wanting the attention that she doesn't get in my city (or in her words, North America). I personally don't think North American guys are less direct than any other males in the world, but then again I'm quite direct myself when it comes to dating so I couldn't really have a positive debate with her. I also remember reading an article in my local newspaper about a couple of girls from my city going to move down to NYC because they said Canadian guys are less direct, and that when they went down to NYC the guys were more direct with them. For the guys and gals, do you think North American guys are less direct than Europeans?

How many ticks when speeddating? Posted: 3/9/2009 7:17:36 PM
Chickie, I wouldn't be surprised. When she told me during our chat I had no idea who she was, as I had to google her just to find out if she really was who she said she was. But I seriously didn't recognized her at all, and I watch that channel's news hour whenever its on. I saw her on TV while I was out for dinner a couple weeks later and seriously her looks from TV to real life was night and day. But then again, maybe she's just not finding the right guy doing what she's doing. Who knows :).

How many ticks when speeddating? Posted: 3/9/2009 6:17:18 PM
I'll chime in on my experience on top of what I already posted. For the company I went through, you go to their website to register for a specific event that is within the age range (It's about an 8 year range, the one I went to was 25-33). When I register for the event, I have to answer 4 questions. The 4 questions were general talk about yourself questions. What your qualities are, what you like to do, what you want to do, etc. Once the profile is filled you pay for the event. At the event I meet with the owners and the staff of the company in an Art Gallery. They give me a number, a profile sheet of the ladies I will be meeting, and a scorecard. The drinks are free (they're non alcoholic) so we're free to wander around look at the artwork or talk to other attendees before we start. Once everyone shows up, we go sit at our assigned tables and start talking. We get 7 minutes to talk about whatever, and once that 7 minutes is up, one of the owners will grab the concierge bell and ring it. That's the cue for the guys to move to the next table. Before I start talking to the next girl I need to write on my scorecard the name of the lady I just talked to, and check off whether a "Yes" or a "No". After the guys go through all the tables, we fill out the rest of the scorecard that tells the owners how we want to be communicated for matches, whether by email or by phone. Once the owners go through all the scorecards, we will be sent an email with our matches' contact information. That email must be replied so the owners know we got it. After that, the rest is up to us. There were 14 girls that night so the whole event took about 2 hours (there's a 15 minute break in between). 7 minutes seemed long, but out of the 14 girls, I only had problems talking to one of them. The rest were very easy to talk to. One of them was a TV Reporter and one of the large TV Channels so it was interesting to see her on TV and think, "I met her at Speed Dating!". I had a blast, and will do it again if necessary
